And he is the personwho is responsible for equipment or for a workarea. Issuer responsibilitySome of you will be WorkPermit Issuers.1.An Issuer inspects the work site, 2.Identifies what hazards and precautionsmust be taken to work safely, 3.Fills out andsigns WorkPermits. [*]An Issuer has a lot of responsibility for safetyat the work site. And heshares that responsibilitywith the Receiver. A Work Permit ReceiverIs a craft supervisor or craftsman who has beencertified by his division or department head toreceive WorkPermits. , Receivers are the peoplewho will do the work. They have to comply withall safety precautions written on the WorkPermit, and they must sign the Work Permit.Receiver responsibilitySome of you will be WorkPermit Receivers. Like Issuers, you have a lot of responsibility for safetyat the work site. And You share this responsibility with the Issuer. Designated representative If the Issuer is busy, and WorkPermits are needed, he can assignanother person to help him. Thisperson is called the designated representative, and must be competent, understand therequirements of the WorkPermit system and befamiliar withthe equipment, hazards and job

requirements. The designated representative can inspect the work site, make sure the equipment is ready to workon and make sure that gas tests are taken.
